According to Reuters, recently, Tenstorrent, an American AI chip design vendor, has reached a cooperation with the Japanese government.The total value of the contract is about $ 50 million.
According to the plan, Japanese engineers will work with Tenstorrent CEO Jim Keller, chief CPU architect, and Ishii Kangxiong to work from April 2025.Tenstorrent still retains the chip blueprint for the process, but it will use an open source RISC-V instruction set structure, so that Japanese engineers can design their own RISC-V design after returning home.
It is worth noting that at the end of February this year, Rapidus, a local wafer founder supported by the Japanese government, announced that it has reached a foundry cooperation agreement with TenStorrent to produce 2nm for Tenstorrent OEM 2MAI chip.However, Rapidus has not announced details, amounts and other details.
According to the data, Tenstorrent was established in 2016. Jim Keller, a well-known chip design in the industry in the industry, was once , AMD, AMD,, AMD,, AMD,Apple, Tesla and other well -known manufacturers are chief chip designers, and members of Tenstorrent also have senior technical personnel from large manufacturers such as Intel. Its goal is to challenge AI chip leader Nvida.
Rapidus was established in August 2022. 8 Japanese companies including Toyota, SONY, NTT, NTT, NEC, SoftBank, Denso, NAND Flash Factory, Mitsubishi UFJAmong them, the first 7 commercial companies each contributed 1 billion yen and Mitsubishi UFJ to contribute 300 million yen.The Rapidus target was 2mm in production in 2027. To achieve the above -mentioned mass production plan, it is estimated that about 5 trillion yen funds are estimated. The Japanese government has now decided to subsidize Rapidus of 920 billion yen, but there is still about 4 trillion yuanThe funds gap in the yen.
